2026's Breakthrough Technologies? MIT Technology Review Chooses Sodium-ion Batteries,  Commercial Space Stations

As 2026 begins, MIT Technology Review publishes "educated guesses" on emerging technologies that will define the future, advances "we think will drive progress or incite the most change — for better or worse — in the years ahead."

This year's list includes next-gen nuclear, gene-editing drugs (as well as the "resurrection" of ancient genes from extinct creatures), and three AI-related developments: AI companions, AI coding tools, and "mechanistic interpretability" for revealing LLM decision-making.

Когда AI становится частью мышления: что происходит с мозгом при потере инструмента

На прошлой неделе заблокировали уже 5-й аккаунт в любимом Сlaudе, в основном через который работал с AI. Claude Code — десктоп, терминал и VS Code. В основном менеджерские задачи и прототипирование. Сейчас большая часть рабочих задач у меня проходит через AI-интерфейсы. И вместе с аккаунтом улетела часть рабочего контекста: проекты, истории диалогов, наработки за несколько месяцев. И это коснулось не только меня — заблокировали десятки аккаунтов у коллег по компании.... Read more

Apache Superset 2026. Как работает Drill Down и Drill By

Работая с аналитикой, мы часто сталкиваемся с одной и той же проблемой: данные есть, но исследовать их неудобно.Представим типичную ситуацию. Есть таблица с десятками колонок и миллионами строк. Нужно понять, почему изменился какой-то показатель — например, выручка или конверсия. Обычно это превращается в цепочку SQL-запросов: сначала агрегируем данные по стране, потом по городу, потом по конкретному сегменту пользователей и тд. Если таких гипотез несколько, количество запросов быстро растёт с геометрическо Read more

What we've been playing - "I have learned the hard way that trusting others is a suckers game"

Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little about the games we've been playing. This week, everyone's playing Pokémon Pokopia apart from Bertie and Connor, who are arguably the staff members with the best taste - an observation I make completely unbiasedly. Connor does appear to have become quite evil, though, so I think it's best I distance myself from him as well. Read more Read more

Камень, меняющий историю рун: находка из Холе в Норвегии

Люди вырезают знаки на камне тысячелетиями — достаточно вспомнить египетские стелы или античные надписи. Но в истории рунического письма недавно была сделана находка, которая может серьезно изменить привычную хронологию.Во время раскопок в норвежской коммуне Холе ученые обнаружили фрагменты камня с рунами. На первый взгляд — очередной древний артефакт, один из тысяч подобных в Скандинавии.

There’s a version of loneliness in your 40s that has nothing to do with being alone. It’s looking at the life you built exactly the way you planned and realizing you forgot to include yourself in it.

The loneliness of midlife isn't about lacking company. It's about realizing you spent two decades building a life so efficiently optimized that you edited yourself out of it, and now the person everyone relies on is a performance with no one inside. Read more
